Tom Daley, an 18-year-old Olympic medalist who recently expressed interest in a film career, has released photos from an upcoming calendar in which he appears topless and soaked in water. The 2013 calendar is his first.

'The one on the front cover where I'm covered in water was really funny to do,' said Daley. 'Someone had to pour a bucket of water over me. It wasn't cold - it was sort of lukewarm. It took a few takes to get it right, though, because the water needed to be in the right place.'

Other pics include one of Daley mid-dive during the 2012 Olympics in London, and in another he holds up his bronze medal. The Devon-born diver says that one is his favorite.

'I'm going to give it to all my friends at Christmas - it will be a funny present. My friends all think the calendar is really funny,' Tom added. 'It's the first calendar I've done and it was good fun. I really enjoyed it and I just hope people like it.

'It really just sums up my year. There are a couple of Olympic-themed pictures so it's a good souvenir too.'

The British diver, who became a national hero in the U.K., has always had his sexual orientation called into question. For the record, Daley hasn't declared if he is Gay or straight.
